He's at it again folks. I see he has a new television series on July 28. Has anyone heard about this yet? Anyone have any opinions on it? The sad part is I'm sure I'll watch it hoping to learn a new technique, maybe even two.

Nope this news to me.
Thanks

"Bear Grylls has a new TV show? Better drink my own urine."

It looks like it might be interesting. It seems like it'll be more of an analysis of real-world experiences, with interviews of the actual survivors.

Then again, I do like Bear Grylls as a TV personality and tend to enjoy what I've seen from him. Heck, I've even overcome my original criticisms to appreciate Man vs Wild.

Denis, No. You were doing so well. Lol jk. I prefer Cody, he's more interesting and laid back.

Lol.

I find a cold beer a better beverage of choice than my own urine while watching television, but hey, to each their own.

I'd like to see Bear and Cody starring on Dual Survival. I doubt it would last more than three episodes but it would be amusing I'm sure.

I don't. Only thing Cody has ever convinced me of is going equipment heavy. This Just-A-Knife -And-Mother-Nature-Will-Provide nonsense is a great way to get you self prominently mentioned in the next Darwin Awards. If I'm dropped in it I'd rather be in Bear's company than Codys.
Hopefully this new series might save a few lives by demonstrating what not to do, and the merits of a spot of prior preparation.

Hopefully it will be better than the last farce of his that I watched. Get Out Alive was a combination Fear Factor (eating gross things) and Survivor (Throwing people who weren't bright enough to read a survival manual before going on the show, then whining about how hard it was and how hungry and cold they were). JMHO of course.But to each his own,I still prefer Cody. I certainly respect your preference for Bear.

To each his own but I strongly disagree! A friend of mine went to Lundin's school many years ago well before he became famous. The education my buddy got was staggering in it's breadth and depth. Bear in mind my friend is probably about 1/20 as good as Cody but just what he learned in three months is pretty mind boggling. Contrary to what you see on DS Lundin does not advocate parachuting into the north woods with just a Speedo! He does encourage people to carry survival items with them. But knowledge is lighter than gear and can't be lost in an emergency. You can't carry enough if you don't have any knowledge. Best of all is great knowledge and good gear.

Carry on!
